Frequently Asked Questions
General FAQ
Is there commentary in my language?
Full commentary in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean & Mandarin on the clear top convertible Hop-On, Hop-Off busses. Enjoy live commentary in English onboard the San Francisco-style
Trolleys. Both bus types (clear top and trolley) will be travelling on all routes.
What do you mean by convertible clear-top buses?
We have installed clear roofs on our open-top buses to allow for stunning views when it’s raining. When the weather is sunny, the roofs come off! In the summer, there is no better way to see the city and park – looking up at the skyscrapers and giant cedars. We promise, you won’t forget it!
What do you mean by San Francisco-style Trolleys?
We have a fleet of trolley-style vehicles that travel the Hop-On, Hop-Off routes along with the convertible clear-top buses. Trolleys are also knows as Streetcars or tram. However in our case, our Trolleys have wheels and a gasoline engine instead of travelling on an electric rail system.

In the summer season, our scheduled frequency is every 20 minutes. In the winter season, our scheduled frequency is every 60 minutes. Schedule is subject to change without notice. For the latest information, please contact us at 604-451-1600.

Space is limited and we are only able to accommodate collapsible strollers or wheelchairs. We ask that you collapse the equipment and secure it between the seats or at the back of the bus.
